In alert I-042524-PSA, America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned that Americans using money transmitting services that do not collect know your customer (KYC) information from customers were “at risk of losing access to funds”, as the FBI is more likely to conduct enforcement actions against such platforms. During an enforcement action such platforms often face financial disruptions.
The alert reinforces the importance of world-class KYC integration in the cryptocurrency space. Users are increasingly aware of the risks of using crypto platforms with compliance deficiencies and are moving to companies that have a strong regulatory posture.
